Is Terrorism Behind Mysterious Crop-Duster Crashes in Philippines?
This is truly the most amusing example of bedwetting terror-fear-mongering I’ve come across in a long time. It reads like something from a “Reefer Madness” sort of film. “The world’s banana consumer would be wise to wonder, what’s being sprayed on my banana?” Classic.
Seriously, though–I read through this whole tedious post waiting for some explanation of why crop-duster crashes in a “terrorist-plagued” region somewhere should make me question “what’s being sprayed on my banana.” Is the theory that terrorists have sabotaged these planes so that the terrorists can fly their own planes, spraying some sort of sinister agent onto “my banana”? If not, please explain why “my banana” is in danger.
Oh, I also liked the faux officiousness of this: “…should send up red flags with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).” Oh, so that’s what FBI stands for! What style guide are you all using over there at Depends Media?
